Abstract: An information distribution system provides information to a user, when the information corresponds to criteria individually selected by the user, and then charges the user only for the selected information thus provided. Encrypted information packages (IP's) are provided at the user site, via high and/or low density storage media and/or by broadcast transmission. The IP's selected by the user are decrypted and then printed or displayed for viewing by the user. The charges for the IP's thus displayed are accumulated within the user apparatus and periodically reported by telephone (36) to the system's central accounting facility which issues encryption keys. The encryption keys, used to decrypt the IP's, are changed periodically. If the central accounting facility has not issued a new encryption key for a particular user station, the station is unable to retrieve information from the system when the key is changed.

Abstract: Human protein C molecules are modified to provide increased resistance to inactivation by human plasma factors while retaining substantially the biological activity of human protein C. The modifications are generally to the heavy chain of protein C, which chain may be substituted with a protein C heavy chain of non-human origin, such as bovine, yielding a chimeric protein C molecule. The human protein C heavy chain may also be modified to be human-like, in that at least one amino acid from a non-human sequence may be substituted for the corresponding residue(s) of the human sequence, thereby allowing the molecule to retain substantially human characteristics yet having increased resistance to inactivation. Also included are methods for producing the modified protein C molecules and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. The modified molecules, having an increased half-life in human plasma, are particularly useful for treating coagulation-related disorders, such as protein C deficiency or thrombosis, or for promoting fibrinolysis in a patient.

Abstract: A method of washing an upflow filter between service runs employs a filter bed having a non-buoyant particulate filter layer through which influent to be filtered is directed in an upward direction, and through which liquid employed in the washing operation is directed in an upflow direction. A two-stage washing operation includes the steps of first directing a combination of air and liquid in an upflow direction through the filter layer with the velocity of the liquid being less than the minimum fluidization velocity of the filter layer, for disrupting only some floc retained in the filter layer during a previous service run, and thereafter directing only liquid in an upflow direction through the filter layer at a velocity less than the minimum fluidization velocity of the filter layer for removing disrupted floc from the filter layer while leaving some floc attached to said particulate media of the filter layer. The process most preferably is carried out with a filter bed including a coarse, particulate media flocculation layer for distributing the flow of influent and promoting flocculation.

The nitrogen gas is maintained at a pressure which exceeds the process fluid pressure by at least 10 p.s.i. and, in a preferred embodiment, spiral pumping grooves (44,74) in the mating rings (40,60) of each of the seals (22,24) are shaped and dimensioned to pump the nitrogen buffer gas through the first seal (22) from the intermediate chamber (26) into the process fluid chamber (12) and through the second seal (24) from the intermediate chamber (26) into the environment external to the housing (12) and sealing area, thereby avoiding the escape of the process fluid into the intermediate buffer chamber (26) and to the atmosphere. Contamination of the process fluid by the buffer gas may be tolerated. The buffer gas may be any relatively inert gas, a gas which is non-hazardous to the environment and also is compatible with the process fluid used; appropriate examples are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air or one of the noble gases.

Abstract: A drive for a phacoemulsification probe (13) includes a drive circuit (15) for supplying electrical power to the probe (13), circuitry (29) for sensing the electrical power supplied by the drive circuit (15) to the probe (13) and for supplying electrical signals indicative of the magnitude of the electrical power supplied. A manually operable input device (21) provides a signal indicative of the transducer power level desired by the user of the probe (13). A control circuit is responsive to the signal indicative of the desired transducer power level and to the signals indicative of the magnitude of the supplied electrical power for providing control signals to the drive circuit (15) to control the power applied in an efficient manner. The drive circuit (15) includes a totem-pole switch (31), responsive to at least one of the control signals, to apply power in a square-wave waveform, and a switching regulator (27) for supplying a supply voltage to the totem-pole switch (31). The totem-pole switch (31) has circuitry associated therewith which is responsive to one of the control signals to initially vary the frequency of the square-wave waveform. The regulator (27) is responsive to a second control signal (A) from the control circuit to vary the voltage supplied by the regulator (27) to the totem-pole switch (31) to control the amplitude of the square-wave waveform. The switching nature of this system substantially minimizes the power consumption of the drive circuit (15) as compared with conventional techniques. <IMAGE>
